The Timp Trail Marathon and Half
The event on May 15, 2027 in Orem, UT offers two trail distances:
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
Both races start and finish at Timpanogos Park and follow the same mountain trail course. The marathon totals 26.63 miles with 5,883 feet of elevation gain. The terrain is almost entirely mountain trail and fire break roads with occasional asphalt crossings at lower elevations. Runners may encounter snow, rain, mud, stream crossings, and rocky sections. The course includes technical ascents and descents and should be treated like an ultra-distance event.
Aid stations are placed along the marathon route, including the starting line and stations at Cliff Edge, Dry Canyon Trailhead, Battle Creek Trailhead, Grove Creek Trailhead, and the finish. A drop bag area is available at Battle Creek; clothing and gear left there will be returned to the starting area after the last runner clears that aid station. Course markings use pink flagging for direction and pink plus blue where a turn is flagged. Participants are advised to know the course, run with someone who knows it, or be able to follow the course description or GPX maps.
Cutoff requirements apply at aid stations: runners must be out of Grove Creek (mile 11.39) by 10:00 AM, out of Battle Creek (mile 18.15) by 12:20 PM, and out of Dry Canyon (mile 20.61) by 1:00 PM. Late registrants are not guaranteed a race shirt. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
